Strangely, there hasn’t been one of these yet (that I know of). So let’s fix that and get a thread going for all things pertaining to Mustelids - some of the hardiest, most enduring mammals.
This includes: Ferrets, Stoats, Wolverines, Badgers, Otters, Minks, Weasels, Martens, Grisons, Skunks, etc.
Ownership and advice for owning is also naturally welcome.

>Skunks have two glands, one on each side of the anus. These glands produce the skunk's spray, which is a mixture of sulfur-containing chemicals such as thiols (traditionally called mercaptans), which have an offensive odor. The thiols also make their spray highly flammable.[16][17]

You’d definitely have to raise these things from birth for them to be amicable towards people though, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything other than a honey badger or Wolverine act this aggressive

what a ferocious predator…

Could life on earth exist without predators? I'm aware of possible population booms and food shortages resulting in death of some or most species if predators disappeared. Would that kill all species?

>>4779417
the parasitized being needs to absorb energy to sustain itself and the parasites, this energy has to come from something. inorganic material cant offer enough energy to support this food chain, extremophiles like >>4781225 pointed out are tiny and can barely support themselves on inorganic material
>>
>>4779414
That makes it a small prey
>>
>>4779405
Only thing I can think of is mutualistic interactions like plants and pollinators. It's not predation if they both species benefit.

When I was a little kid and would go to Cali to visit my extended family finding and collecting these guys was my favorite part.
We don't really have snails this size in AZ.

I mean, look at it. Those legs are so thin you could lightly sweep at them and probably snap them like twigs. Nearly all of that weight is its upper body. Pretty believable to me

I had one relative that age and he could barely move and he was sober his whole life.

I've had about a dozen of them in my tank for a few years now, they get along with the neocaridina shrimp and snails.
They breed easily too as long as you keep them well fed, and you don't have any scavengers that would eat the tanks.

Simply put, it's the best because it's the biggest.
